Here's what my admin panel currently looks like:

• menus
• admin

• 3 If I had to guess, I'd say you don't have an administrative role. Is this a WordPress you manage? Did originally have Settings and Plugins page then lost them whenever updating something or have you never had access to these two pages on this install? – Howdy_McGee ♦ Commented Mar 16, 2015 at 22:00

• Without knowing how the menu items were removed, it's impossible to help, and without seeing the code, we can't help. Right now this is impossible to answer. I would contact the person who made this for you and ask, they've clearly tried to remove everything that isn't relevant to the theme you're using so it doesn't confuse users – Tom J Nowell ♦ Commented Mar 16, 2015 at 22:12

1 Answer 1

I can suggest two step:

1. Try to deactivate all plugins (howto: this and this);
2. Check if the core of Wordpress hasn't broken. Compare sources in directories wp-admin & wp-includes (it's difficult, but I don't know easy way).
